Hi All,
I have been maing new themes for my system using Themegence. I seem to be experiencing some problems. I searched for answers and only found one or 2 work arounds. My exact questions have not been asked:
1) What is the standard DPI to use for the theme?
2) When I make a theme using the standard theme option (first choice on the options tab) My theme seems to generate fine. All my color tweaks seem to take. But when I use the option for qvga portrait and landscape than the theme won't take my changes to the system colors. (ie, the navigation bar and system tray). It displays my theme but with the standard windows blue colors....yuck
3) What ever I do, in the program, I can't get the theme to change the color of the text for those 2 areas (nav bar and sys tray)
4) I want to change the base hue to a different grey scale value. But the program won't take may change for base hue either. (actually even tweaking the registry directly I can't get a different grey scale base hue. Although I can make it a different color all together)
I know that some of these colors can be changed in the registry, and that there are work arounds for some of the other issues. But I am not looking for work arounds. I want my theme to do everything that it should. In case I ever have to re start the theme, from a system reset, or just changing themes...I don't want to muck around to make it work...know what I mean.
Thanks
Are there any tweaks to change the colour of the font displaying Missed Calls/Calendar/Date/Alarm etc on the Home Screen (or even better, to have an opaque box behind the text)?
I have some nice photos I want to use as backgrounds, but they are mostly white so I cant see any text!
Cheers,
Doc
same for me... i wanna use a more lighter background picture. But with the white letters its not really useful.

I've look also for the exactly same thing and I've reached to the following conclusion: you can't do anything about it.
I've tried tons of programs, registry editing, hexa editing etc. Spend days on the issue. Nada, nothing. I even some some experienced users saying that it can be changed almost any colors on tabs, exept the ones above.
LE: I think the most closest possibility for us to obtain this effect is to manually edit the wallpaper and place some dark boxes where the text is written, but this means that the dark boxes will apear on every other tab also.
hello...I have tried this UItweaker on my touch hd...
I tried the one to change the today screen font color...
and spinning wheel of death occured...
so I killed the UITweaker but the font color indeed changed
I soft reseted and changed it back - again spinning wheel of death - and after having back to nromal I removed it because it seems like not the program I want to my mess my phone...since it seems the device does not like it....
and anyway..i think that after having this program my google mpas started to be stupid - I dont know if it really is because of this - but now the google maps show My Location as a venezuela...that is not true, I am in middle europe...WTF I want it work again normally...
this sucks
so if you want try it, it changes the color, but it is not working flawleslly and I hate that...
The UI Tweaker only messed up my other colors, but doesen't changed the color I wanted.
Take care using it.
I also had issues with UI Tweaker, I somehow changed the background of the buttons on the home page (Phone, Programs, x button etc) to pink and couldnt change it back!
I remember seeing a Russian Rom that had black text on the home screen, so I do think its possible.
My workaround for the moment is to edit the background pic and draw an opaque box where the info is displayed.
I think it looks quite cool! It does take a bit of messing around (trial and error) to get it in the right place, and I still have to add a few more (date/alarm)... work is quite busy atm so I dont really have the time!
If I do find another way, I will post it here.
As I said, the only problem for this workaround is that in all other tabs, the background will apear with the boxes from the HOME tab.
I wonder if it is a way of having different wallpapers for each tab.
Must search that.
LE: Found that: Change wallpapers. It gives a solution how to have a different background picture for the rest of the tabs.
so simple
go to settings > home screne > scroll to color scheme & select > scroll to : text: black" then select done
I have searched high and low for a way to change the font colour on my TF3D2 home screen.
My background is a light colour and the font is white, making it difficult to see calendar events. I would like to make the font dark blue or black.
Some of the "Black Font" cabs have caused problems, but this is probably because there are for TF3D not TF3D2.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
ive done the same thing, ive been looking for a while now, i cant find anything
I'm just curious.. I have an Omnia and for the startbar and the bar below you can't select full white or full black.. Is there any way to change this properly?
Now for my real question: I noticed that SPB MS 3.5 and also mskip's widgets are both mostly based on a black theme.. I wondered if there is some way you could change it to white?
Another problem: When I change the qa_fundotela2.dat files from black to white.. It actually doesnt change anything about the looks.. but when I scroll now.. Old icons stay in the screen and I get an overlap of everywhere I scroll.. Seems not right?
I know, a question I really should be able to work out. Sorry.
I can see how to change the background of the folder, but not the colour of the font. Problem is, the font is white and I have a white background - makes it hard to see
